Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Speed at 5.0 against Speedometer ⋙'s 4.4. Speed also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Speedometer ⋙'s advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
